Senator Pope offered an amendment in
structlng MinnesOta's congressman to
work for an amendment to the bill making
it unlawful for common carriers to charge
more Der ton per mile for the same class Of
goods for longer than for shorter haul;
but nothing in the bill should be construed
to authorize common carriers to receive
more for a greater than a shorter haul. He
Thought Minnesota congressman should un-
derstand that the sentiment of the Jobbers'
associations of st. Paul and Minneal lolis
was not the sentiment of the people of
Minnesota.
Senator HicksOn favored the resolution.
He thought the country west of here had
paid for building up Minneapolis and St.

ST, PAUL, Jan. 13.-The governor COM
municated to the senate his appointments
this morning, and the senate went into ex-
ecutive session to consider them. In addi-
ton to the appointments already reported
he named the following: For inspector of
oils, H. B. Willis: for surveyor general,
Minneapolis district. S. B. Loveioy; for
Saltwater district, A. C. Hospes; for Du-
luth district, Alex Frazier. After the ap-
pointments were read Senator Clough asked
that they be laid over till tomorrow,
to permit the lumber exchange at Mime
apoliS, which is to meet tonight, to express
its opinion on the appointments for the
Minneapolis district. Senator Durant also
favored laying over the appointments, and
it is understood that he will, on the part of
the Saltwater lumbermen. oppose the con-
tirmatlon of the appointment Of A. C.
Hospes. The Duluth appointment is under
stood to be satisfactory.
HOUSE.
The senate interstate commerce bill was
read. Mr.. Donnelly said the bill differed
from the one passed by the house yesterday
in that it did not allow railroads to charge
more per mile for long distance than for
a short one, and therefore differed from the
bill in congress. That bill could not be
amended and therefore it would be useless
unless tcould influence other legislation.
Under this bill the Manitoba road could
not charge more per mile from Chicago to
st. Cloud than it did from Chicago to st.
Paul. The rules were suspended and the
resolution was passed without debate by
80 to6.
